The most horrific thing a child could experience has happened. There, right before his eyes, the most important person in his life is humiliated, beaten, and then killed. Adding insult to injury, the killers are set free and rewarded with a court settlement of his inheritance! If you ever wondered what serial killers are made of, you've found the perfect recipe. Billy never stood a chance with his alcoholic mother and abusive stepfather. Travel with Billy as he follows his misguided conscience and attempts to avenge all the wrongs in the world. You'll feel his pain and that of his victims!!!

This was a book I couldn't put down, I read it in one day. The main character Billy is an oddly mystifying man. He's got so many different characteristics he goes from being an average single working man to a sex crazed killer/stalker. This is one book everyone should read, definately could keep anyone intrested!!

A chance reach of my arm in a second hand bookshop brought this book to me. It's rare for a thriller to tell the story from the killer's point of view - it demands deep empathy with the character and a thorough understanding of the psychology that has made him what he is. As we read, we learn, chapter by chapter how Billy McElwain is transformed from a loving and lovable child into a cold-blooded killer. It's packed with insight and wonderful descriptions - "jeans that fit her like shrink wrap" being one. Buy this book. You will not regret it.

This is a great book, I also read it in one sitting, everytime I would start to put it down, I ended up taking it with me...shocking ending, hope there is a second book. The author could do wonders with this story!
